Sitting in a meeting…the ‘OFFICE OF ACCOUTABILITY’…misspelled words splashed all across the neatly nauseating power point. Indeed.
I pity the man, the cog in the machine required to school us in the new lingo…’previous methodology’, ‘newly re-identified designation’, ‘different filters’ and ‘percent gap reduction’. Save us all.
Save the tentative first grader approaching me regularly with a carefully placed kiss on my right cheek and a murmured ‘I love you’…one English phrase she masters and likes to practice very, very quietly. Unkempt, shabby and given to lengthy procrastination in the cloak room…she is unable to manage her coat, boots, hat, mittens, book bag…I present to you the child through the looking glass…
As I keep my heart out of sight…
